Arkeia

[proj1]

The product is aimed at professional network administrators, but don't let that scare you off.

Arkeia software presents a backup solution to administrators of heterogeneous networks of all sizes. From a one-computer shop to a large shop with hundreds of computers, Arkeia is designed to work on any size IP network. It also works cleanly with a mix of widely different operating systems. The product is aimed at professional network administrators, but don't let that scare you off. It is documented well enough that an amateur who is reasonably knowledgeable about Linux and his organization's network can set up and run the software. The product installs easily on Linux and on Windows 95. This is the kind of product that will make Linux a serious contender as a real-world operating system.

The server software can run on Linux, Solaris, SGI, AIX, HP-UX or SCO. Give it a fast connection to your network and one or more fast tape drives, and you are ready. Clients, in addition to the servers just listed, include Windows NT, Windows 95 and 98, Novell, VMS, ICL and others. The servers and clients communicate over TCP/IP, so the physical layer of your network doesn't matter. You don't need Windows sharing or NFS to do your backups.

To review the software, I downloaded the shareware version. I set up the server on my 333 MHz Pentium II Red Hat 5.0 Linux box and put the Windows 95 client on my 166 MHz Pentium laptop. They are connected over a TCP/IP network on Ethernet. The installation and operation manuals are in Adobe PDF format.
